Session: Policy: Beyond the Bottom Line: Sustaining the Open Source Ecosystem
Sustaining the Open Source ecosystem has always been a difficult proposition. Our current geopolitical environment makes that even more difficult. But there are ways forward and it’s incumbent on us to explore them.
This session will discuss ideas for sustaining the Open Source ecosystem and the communities that support them: developers, maintainers, deployers, stewards, etc. It will outline the various proposals from public-private partnerships to procurement policies and sovereign tech funds. Participants will learn the latest on these ideas, provide feedback, and offer new ones. The conversation will encompass approaches from across the globe with a focus on actions that can be taken in the United States.
